Take it as Gospel

Consistent mare Gospel is our sole runner for the weekend, the five-year-old taking his place in the 91.6 MORE FM Handicap at Ruakaka.

Nicely drawn in barrier three for Rory Hutchings, Gospel was a little below his best at his most recent outing but close up previously and a step up to 1400m looks suitable.

Already a four times winner, Gospel - an $82,500 purchase for Paul Moroney at the 2009 New Zealand Bloodstock Select Yearling Sale - is one of four winners produced by the imported Irish River mare Worship.

Also dam of the five times winner Firelight, Worship hails from a family that has enjoyed considerable success in Australasia - producing the dual Group One winner Tavistock and the tough stayer Precedence.
